1.02 Update Experience

After running tests for the Live Stream a couple hours before the Update was supposed to come out, I started the stream back up. The Live Stream started back up at 2:00AM PST and pressed X to start ModNation Racers. There was a long pause, but no update to be found. Many trips to the ModSpot and back to the XMB commenced for a good Fifteen minutes. At exactly 2:15AM PST, I was finally prompted with to update to 1.02.

1.02 Update Weighs in at 131MB and took me about 3 minutes to download. Loading times seem to be about the same from what I could tell for the intro sequence and you are greeted with a new menu after you Press Any Button.

You will see Career Mode, ModSpot, and Creation Station after you continue when prompted. I believe this was not mentioned on Monday and if it was, thanks for not making it clear.

Even after the update, connecting to the servers were a no go. IDK if it’s due to server maintenance that I saw mentioned at the bottom of the screen from Monday through Friday at I believe the same time as the old maintenance days and times. I really don’t know till I look back at the archives of the Live Cast.

So for about an hour or less of trying to connect to the server. Off to Creation Station I go. Messed around in Mod Creation and back to the ModSpot for luck. Still, NOTHING. If I do not update this post with anything, I have given up for now and will resume once I get home.

If this is due to server maintenance, DON’T RELEASE A PATCH during that time! It’s annoying, whether how many people that are at the time of release and you think it’s not that big of a deal. Fact is, it’s annoying.

So much for getting a quick glimpse of the new Update for a while before I have extended time with it. Guess I’ll try later today when I get back to see how good this update is.
